| Illumination +2 jayctoy OK, Rick is a nice guy, and I should ask him over for drinks, but what about buying/selling audio gear? a.) is his gear truly superior? b) is his gear a fair/good value? c) will he be here in the future (support, trades, upgrades, e... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? OP - In response to "I do not know their return policy. It isn't listed in the ad and when I click on RETURN POLICY on their website it just goes to the home page." Caveat Emptor: Ethical 'bricks-n-mortar' stores have well defined and published ... | |

| Solid State Power Amps There are many excellent suggestions so far. If you are casting a wide net; I just updated my preamp (to Audio Research) and as it burns-in my biggest impression is that my Ayre Amp (V5-xe w upgraded capacitors: 300 W) sounds great - voicing is ... | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? Not currently streaming, but DSD would be worth a game changer for me. I would definitely sign up. | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed @ superhonestben Thanks for the reply. I appreciate knowing how your forum handles F&F: It seems simple enough. I expect that most sellers are willing to break the rules, by selling to non-friends/family, simply to avoid paying sales tax.... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Just played Gets/Gilberto on Impex (IMP6041-1, 45 rpm) for the first time. Beautiful deep-black backgrounds, beautiful tone. One of the few times that I thought I might be listening to a R2R (if eyes closed). I will use it to 'system dem' for f... | |
| Thumper’s Mother OP: Thanks for having the courage and class to keep the discussion on a civil tone. I have read far too immature, reactionary and ascorbic comments in this forum during the past five years. @audphile1 : "People are people and will behave t... | |
| Thumper’s Mother @uncledemp +4 While helpful/sincere suggestions are welcome, arrogance, negativity and ill-will are not. From my point of view, they are unacceptable. The old axiom "If you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything" should be ... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo I have Mofi, Reference Recordings, Shefield Labs, Impex, AP, Blue Note, Mercury Living Presence, and most of the other labels. In addition to standard 33&1/3, I have 45 rpm, 1/2 speed master, 1-Step, and even a single-sided 4-disc set from Cl... | |
| Digital LP’s Getting back to the OPs statement/question. I recall when Abraxas was released by MoFi on a 'One-Step' pressing. I believe the original cost was $100. Shortly after it sold out, USED copies were selling for $350. A friend was offered $600 for ... | |
| Digital LP’s @yoyoyaya "Vinyl actually has less dynamic range than a 16 bit CD." - Yes, mathematically perhaps, but that seldom makes it past the mastering board." I prefer LP over a typical CD or flac file... Also, +1 "But for pop and rock music dynamic rang... | |

| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed After my last Update: The seller changed the item’s color from silver to black in the listing. (… yet another cause for concern). I requested the item’s serial number and name of the dealer from whom he purchased the item. I seller... | |
